Charles Dickens - Museum / Devonshire Terrace

Inscription

{On plaque below:}
Keystone from over the front door of 1 Devonshire Terrace, Dickens's home from 1839 to 1851.

LookandLearn has a photo of the building, no.1, before it was demolished. The Dickens relief also commemorates his stay at this address.

Site: Charles Dickens museum (4 memorials)

WC1, Doughty Street, Dickens Museum

All these memorials are in the back garden of the museum which is a tight space and, much as we'd like to, it's impossible to provide a photo with all four items in shot.
